Chief Judge Alvey, in delivering
his charge to the late Grand Jury,
called especial attention to violations
of the Local Option Law, and among
other things said: "This law may
be obnoxious to some persons, but
that is not the question, it does not
matter whether you voted for the
law or against it. The law has been
adopted by vote of the people and
it is the law just as much as if every
man in the county had voted in favor
of it, and so long as it is the law it is
the duty of this COURT to see that it is
enforced"
The faithful observance of this
charge by the Grand Jury is evi.
denced by the finding of nearly fifty
indictments against the proprietOrs
of rum mills and those in their en-
ploy. That which should bring terror
to these YiolatOrs Of the law is the de.
termination of the Court to bring
them to speedy trial. The Court
was determined that no hollow eX-
cuse or pretense whatever should
work a continuance of these cases.
When it became apparent to the de-
PENDANTS that trial must be had and
that conviction was absolutely GER
tain, they all, with one exception,
pleaded guilty, and in default of pay
ment of their fines, with single
exception, went to Jail. This is bad
state of affairs. Bad for those who
have been convicted and bad for the
community which must bear the
heavy expenses.
1t is in no spirit of rejoicing over
the fall of these men that we pen
these lines. On the contrary we are
sorry that they have, with their eyes
wide open, gotten themselves into
such an unenvlable position. In
kindly and friendly spirit we would
suggest to all who have violated the
law referred to. or who may cOntem-
plate doing so, the importance of pom
dering upon and considering well the
words which fell from Judge Alvey
in passing sentence upon those men
who were so unfortunate as to be
caught by the last Grand Jury "This
Court" said the Judge, evil not be
fOiled in its attempt to bring these
men to justice. They must be tried,
and that speedily. You have been
selling liquor in violation of law I'M
til it has become a scandal and a dis
grace to the community. Under the
pretence of conducting a farmers
club you have engaged in selling
Whiskey to everybody who would
pay for it. The most bare-faced fraud
has been perpetrated and a clear Yio-
lation of the law. No such sham or
device as these clubs can protect you,
and this court will not he imposed
upon in any such way. Those who
have allowed themselves to be en-
ployed to deal out liquor are equally
guilty. The only question is wheth-
er they sold the liquor. 1t does not
matter who got the profits, if you
sell the liquor you are guilty of vic.
lating the law, no matter what may
be the circumstances"
There were several convictions for
selling cider. This should be warn
ing to a large number of persons who
have imagined that this was not
wrong.
We sincerely hope we shall not
soon be called upon to again witness
such scenes in our court.

True to Himself.

In the Summerville post Office affair
Hiram Atkins is demonstrating that he
can be as true to himself in the hand
ling of a fifth class pOstoffice as in the
more important offices at other points
in the state. The administration at
Washington declares that faithful SER
vice is what is wanted on the part of
public servants. Atkins declares that
the democrats must have the offices re-
CARELESS of services that have been
rendered by those at present in the Of
fee. 1t wouldn't be bad idea for the
administration and Hiram to get to-
gether, compare notes and agree on
these matters. Or, must we conclude
that the administration is for civil SER
vice reform at Washington, and for
whatever Hiram Atkins wills in Yer
mont?

Hang the Directors.

1t is now said that the horrible rail
road disaster in Ohio last week, a
vivid description of which will be
found on the second page, was due in
part to the "tOO free" use of liquor by
the engineer, who allowed his steam
to run down. The fact is also brought
out that the fireman was Il farm hand
who had been on the road but three
weeks. Therefore it appears that the
blame lies between a drunken engineer
and an inexperienced fireman. But
the Portland Advertiser we'll says that
there is blame also behind all this. A
railroad corporation has no business to
employ such men. Ben Buffers prop
OsitiOn to hang a railroad director af-
ter every accident, though somewhat
heroic treatment, would soon work a
great change in the accident record of
American railroads, and we begin to
think that the time has arrived for put
ting it to the test.

laundering LEGISLATION.

The CaledOnian has been somewhat
criticised for not falling in with the
idea that the legislature of 1886 was "a
Temperance" body. The reporters of
the Rutland Herald and the Burlington
Free Press have been getting the Opin-
ions of the states attorneys and other
officers in their vicinity on the effect
that the temperance Legislation of 1886
will have on existing laws, and the re-
suit is that no better name can be
found for it than "blundering legisla-
ton"
The Free Press is charitable enough
to speak of the crippling of the law as
an ll-advised effort to improve it.n
The whole miserable business brings
us back to the Oft-repeated assertion
that there was law enough on the
statute books. The one thing lacking
is its execution and an honest desire
on the part of the officers and the peO-
pie to see it executed. The people
will some day find out that the way to
secure honest temperance legislation
is to send to Montpelier honest tenn
perance Legislators.

Good Advice for Dairymen.

The st. Adams Messenger makes the
following sensible editorial mention of
the dairymen's meeting here next
week:
st. JOhnsbury ought to be filed to
overlooking by the dairymen of the
state next week. Year by year the
margin of profit on ordinary things de-
creases, and it is only upon excellent
productions that any one can hereafter
hope for reward. Life is too short for
each man to study out alone the great
problems that directly interest him in
his speciality and too valuable to be
spent very much in experimenting.
Each one must learn largely of the
other as he goes, and take every ad-
vantage of information so obtained if
he would keep up with his associates.
There are associations of every con-
ceivable description and nature these
days, all attempting to crowd their
own particular business ahead. The
dairymen of Vermont should see to it
that they do not stay away and get
left by the swelling tide. Let every
dairyman attend the ST. JOhnsbury
meeting to benefit himself, and pay his
fees to help ibis own department of in
dustry along.

One Cause of Crime.

The news columns of the daily pa
pers the past ten days have fairly
reeked with stories of horrible muir
ders, suicides and other crimes of the
most revolving nature. Even our own
county has helped to swell the list
The faithful news reporter knows no
way by which to avoid recording these
events. But no possible good and
much harm results from the publica-
ton of the details of these affairs.
Said an eminent physician, not long
since, the people of this country have
little idea of the influence these re-
voting recitals have on the minds of
the young and particularly on that
class of patients, unfortunately increas
ing, afflicted with the various phases
of nervous prOstratiOn, melanchOlia,
etc. Investigation has shown in many
instances that crimes are often com
mitted by weak minded or degraded
men and women as the direct result of
unnatural passions infamed by read
ing the work of others, who have sunk
still lower in degradation. One who
has had experience in the care of the
insane says, that a suicide among those
in his charge, or the publication of the
details of some such crime, is sure to
be followed by similar attempts on the
part of others of his patients. Those
of us who think we are possessed of
good physical and mental health can
bear testimony to the ill effects result
ing from the reading of these shocking
recitals, made doubly sensational by
the skill of the trained reporter. The
paper of the future will doubtless re-
port the crimes of the future, but it is
to be hoped that it will be done in
such way as not to directly contrib
ute to the sum total of criminal acts
and the resulting sorrow in the world,
while telling AS much of the truth as
should be told.

Temperance Text Books.

Messrs. Dillingham;, Mansur and
Valentine, the commissioners appoint
ed by the governor to select temper
ance text books for use in the public
schools of Vermont, have chosen the
following:
Two of the Pathfinder series, for use
in the primary schools, published by
A. S. Barnes & Co., of New York.
Brands Physiology, for intermedi-
ate grades, published by Leach, Shew-
ell & SanbOrn of Boston and New
York.
Steele's Physiology, for high school
use, published by A. S. Barnes 81 Co.
Also small book of instructions for
teachers.
There have been some slight alter
atiOns made in the books, the princi-
pal one being the omission of the ar
ticle Oh stimulants in "Hygiene for
Young People" This article holds
that alcohol is not stimulant in the
proper sense of the word but "a narcot-
ic. The commissioners, finding that
there is difference of opinion among
medical men on this point, and in or
der to make sure of the general accept
ance of the books and promote their
great utility thought best to eliminate
this cOntrOverted point, or at least to
take away the pOsitiveness of it's asser-
ton.
The books will be distributed sub
stantially as follows: Each January
the town superintendents are to inform
the secretary of state how many and
what books are wanted for the ensuing
year and the secretary orders them
sent. The publishers send them to
the superintendents. The latter de-
liver them to the district clerks and
they to the teachers, each taking a re-
ceipt. The teacher will he response
BILE for the books, but if a scholar in
jures or destroys one he will be re-
quired to pay for it.
The books will be ready for distri-
button immediately after the annual
school meetings in March. AS we have
already stated, among the penalties
for noncompliance with the law is the
loss of public money, but that will not
take effect this year.
The expense to the state of this ex-
pertinent seems likely to be much less
than has been expected. 1t is thought
that the cost of the new books will not
probably exceed $4,000 the first year
and the total cost for five years is like
ly to be kept down to $4,000. This
is only about One-half what the oppo-
nents of the measure estimated that it
would be.

New Publications.

The Pansy and Our Little Men and
Women are two publications from the
house of ID. LOthrop &. Co., Boston,
that are sure to find welcome in any
home into which they enter. 1t is
difficult to tell whether they have the
strongest hold on the parents, as helps
in interesting the little folks, or on the
little folks themselves, who are capti-
waited with the beautiful pictures and
nice stories.
The New Years Wide Awake is a
gem. The frontispiece, "The Pigeon
Tower of Grandval," will at once at
tract readers to the very interesting
article by the artist, Mr.. Henry Bacon,
entitled "The Doves of the French
Revolution" most quaint cOntribu-
ton to historical knowledge. A charm
ing feature is the long Christmas story
by Sarah Orne Jewett, "The Christmas
Guest" and a notable feature is the
second paper of "the Longfellow lit
erature" promised for this year-"An
Old House," which describes the old
Longfellow home in Portland, and is
fully illustrated by drawings and pho
tOgraphs. The serials are excellent (:
"Romulus and Remus," by Charles R.
Talbot, is high comedy, "Montezuma's
Gold Mines" by Fred A. Ober, is ro-
mantle adventure. ID. Lothrop & Co.,
Boston, publishers. Only $2.4O year.
